Since the anger and hurt feelings over *anything* Confederate were non-existent before Dylann Roof served up a handy excuse, it's quite clear that these attacks are not truly "local".
Of course it isnt local...it’s a full court press attack on all of us by liberals.
Now if your argument to fly the flag is the inherant right of Americans to self expression...you will win.
If you argument to fly the flag is that the south was right to secede.......you will lose very badly and the squishy moderates will bolt.
just sayin’
